Two NDP Provincial governments are at loggerheads over the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline Project. Alberta PM’s Rachel Notley was enraged earlier this week over the B.C. government’s decision to study the effects of bitumen on the West Coast environment, delaying the project indefinitely. Retaliatory action has been started.

Does this discussion simply break down into a fight between protecting the environment and developing the economy?

Is the appointed National Energy Board biased?

Does the decision to go ahead with pipelines mean that the federal government is not protecting the environment?

Why does Alberta fear doing the tests? Why is it that Trudeau doesn’t convince his own province of Quebec that it is a safe way to transport bitumen to ships? Why doesn’t Quebec stand up for BC considering they both denied the bitumen going thru their provinces, yet it is being forced down the throat of BC. History has proven the disaster is inevitable..Maybe Albertans should not be so callous now, as the cost of clean up later could bankrupt whatever shallow greed your gripping into now.
